Maybe Texas Tech’s first dual-threat quarterback ever, 2014 quarterback commit D.J. Gillins is reevaluating his relationship with the Red Raiders in the wake of the coaching transition.

Former offensive coordinator Neal Brown and running backs coach Chad Scott are now at Kentucky and have resumed their recruitment of Gillins. For now though, the Jacksonville, Fla., native considers himself still loosely affiliated with Texas Tech.

The Red Raiders’ Kliff Kingsbury-led staff, meanwhile, has offered a scholarship to another 2014 quarterback in Whitehouse, Texas, High School’s Patrick Mahomes who is a teammate to 2013 commit Dylan Cantrell.

Mahomes threw for 49 touchdowns and just seven interceptions in his first year as Whitehouse’s quarterback this past season.
